Whack It. Whack it good.
Okay, quick: What great moment in sports history is today the tenth anniversary of?

No, no. Not O.J. That anniversary isn't till June. But you're on the right track.

It was ten years ago today that the Tonya Harding crime syndicate whacked Nancy Kerrigan's knee, and Ray Ratto has written a pretty funny piece about it on ESPN.com

Brazil Nuts
In a move that many Americans say is long overdue, customs officials have begun fingerprinting and photographing foreign visitors (most Europeans are exempt from this requirement). The new procedure will allow authorities to better track terrorists who are hellbent on destroying our way of life even as they visit Las Vegas to take advantage of its many carnal pleasures, including taking turns marrying Britney Spears.

Some countries are not happy that their citizens will have to endure added scrutiny while seeking a brief fling with certain unnamed pop singers who can't hold their liquor. Brazil, for example, has decided to fingerprint and photograph Americans--but only Americans--visiting that nation.

Well, that's real frikkin' mature, Brazil. What are you, in fourth grade? What a bunch of crybabies!! Fortunately, we here in the United States are above such childish displays, and know how to voice our displeasure with the international community in a reasonable, grown-up manner.

That's why later today, I'm going to DC, driving by the Brazilian embassy, and mooning them.
